The Fairhaven MA area is well known for its seaside beauty having an active harbor with several beaches where you can spend days on end exploring the waterways and coastal inlets. Boaters from across the globe make Fairhaven their port destination. There are a number of seaside restaurants, parks and bike paths. 

The town of Fairhaven's shoreline was the place for the first U.S. Naval battle of the American Revolution dating back to 1775 fought by Fairhaven militiamen aboard the sloop Success.

Before visiting Fairhaven's town center stop by Fort Phoenix, which is a favorite destination for locals to enjoy ocean side picnics. This U.S. Naval Fort was constructed and outfitted with cannons, which are fired annually to this day.   

The fort was destroyed back in 1778 by a British invasion. Later rebuilt and named Fort Phoenix visitors today enjoy exploring the old fort and with expansive water views taking pictures next to the ocean is a common activity. There are paved areas that extend out to the harbor's dike, and are used by Fairhaven residents for walking, skating or bike riding. 

The grass areas are nice places to relax and watch the ocean. Taking a swim will surely get your appetite up for traditional New England seafood. 

There in Fairhaven MA you will find families having clambakes, as this area has the freshest seafood that area residents enjoy all year round. If you ever tasted delicious authentic Southern New England clam chowder, scallops and lobster, then you know this to be why people returning home got to have a clam boil. Just click this link, and we'll email you our directory for real New England Foods that can ship right to your door.
